The Brownsboro Junior High mascot is the "Bears". This came from a brown bear that terrorized the local area in the early 1900's. Many people moved from the area, often escaping to Van, TX due to the vicious animal's inability to cross the Interstate and how the Van Vandals often run from Bears when they get scared. This brown bear fit in well with the town's name due to the name "Brown" and "Bear". Many people in the Brownsboro area also wanted to name their school mascot the burro to fit into the name of the town "Browns burro's". The idea was struck down due to the fear that people would call Brownsboro students donkeys. Eventually, the name was incorporated into law at the same time that the California Gold Rush was taking place. This "fact" shows the amazing Brownsboro students the need to understand that it is important to use primary source documents and not to use a secondary source that could be false when researching their projects.
